UN reports over 400,000 children displaced in Lebanon due to ongoing conflict
Summary: More than 400,000 children in Lebanon have been displaced in the last three weeks due to ongoing conflict, according to UNICEF. The situation has worsened as Israel conducts military operations against Hezbollah, leading to significant civilian casualties and displacement.
The war has left 1.2 million people homeless, with many seeking refuge in overcrowded shelters. Public schools are largely closed or damaged, affecting children's education. Over 100 children have died, and many others are traumatized by violence.
UNICEF reports that essential services, including health care and water supply, have been severely impacted. The organization is calling for protection of civilian infrastructure and a cease-fire, as funding for emergency response remains critically low.
